Bridgeport28A1 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Not sure any thing good for the NFA community will come from the article on Frank Geopfert in Bloomberg today. Frank G. probably likes the publicity. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-04-05/how-one-man-got-rich-buying-and-selling-machine-guns-in-america 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petroleum 1 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I saw it on another forum and enjoyed the read. Im not sure about talking machineguns with the press is a good idea but on the other hand explaining the strict controls on their sale could be a good thing too.

ron_brock Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 I liked this part of the article:Recognizing how much care the guns require, Goepfert says he rarely makes purchases that require repairs. Very old guns are often left untouched by his staff of six, since changing them in any way could decrease their value. Some are so delicate that the act of firing them could cause damage.

RoscoeTurner Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Being a dealer, once Goepfert puts you on his mailing list it seems you can never get him to take your email address off of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Ploughboy Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Reminds me of the late J. Curtis Earl, who during the 1970s, averaged over 150 machine gun sales annually. His "bound books" covering his three decades as a Class 3 Dealer included ownership at one time or another of 199 Colt Thompsons plus numerous Thompsons from other manufacturers.

pstidan Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 individual on a shooting spree attempts to buy a suppressor in Austin. He was also charged with murder.http://www.fox7austin.com/news/local-news/car-dealer-helps-shooting-spree-victim-in-south-austinWe wanted to know the process of buying a silencer so we reached out to a local gun shop. "You can purchase it (in store) or you can buy it online. You can't take possession of it just yet until you fill out some paper work. You pay a $200 tax you, get your finger prints and a photo taken," said Michael Cargill the owner of Central Texas Gun Works. According to Cargill you have to wait for the ATF to approve the paper work which can take up to a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
